So. Bluesky.

Why don't y'all mask up in public anymore?

1/ “Israel has a right to defend itself.” It’s the West’s go-to excuse for every Israeli war crime. But here’s the truth: this claim isn’t just wrong—it’s a blatant lie. Legally, morally, and logically. Let’s break it down. 🧵

I have that turned ON.

Exactly. But I don't accept the forgiving nature of a 'blind spot' here.

A driver who smashes a car that was in their blind spot is responsible, because whatever the warning on the side mirror says, every driver is expected to turn their heads to look at the blind spot before going anywhere.

Israel has murdered 111 people in Gaza since today’s dawn. Don’t normalize this genocide; don’t normalize the daily slaughter of more than a hundred people. Don’t normalize the killing and incineration of women, men, and children. Ceasefire now!

Israel has just committed a horrific massacre in northern Gaza, bombing a building in Beit Lahia where more than 70 people were sheltering, killing 50 of them, with the read injured or missing.

Disabled people have been right about almost everything that’s happened over the last five years.

People don’t listen to us because they don’t think of us as real people. We’re invisible (at best) and completely disposable (at worse).

We are the canaries - and we are trying to warn you. Listen.

As a reminder, the IDF used an AI system called Lavender (including “Where’s Daddy?”) to pick targets in the #Gaza #Genocide. The ‘start up nation’ is a pioneer in dystopian technologies used the world over.
